I've read all the comments here and still don't have a clue what a hexbear is

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

So you know the Lemmy instance Lemmy.world? Well, there is another instance called hexbear... Which is full of hardcore, Stalinist communist. And every user of every other instance hates them

Why do people always put labels on them as if that's the reason they are idiots. It's not. There just a bunch of obnoxious trolls that have made it their mission to annoy other instances.

I mean being a Stalinist and being an idiot are kind of one and the same are they not?

[–] Huschke@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Sure, but there are plenty of people over there that are not Stalinsts, but still obnoxious trolls.

It kinda seems to go Hand in Hand though...

Ah. So like the famous lines „everything that touches the light“ „what about the dark spot over there?“ „don’t ever go there“

That's right, Simba

Why would I put is so much energy as to hate them?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're marxists-leninists, not stalinists...

Stalin invented the term Marxist-Leninist. Before that they were just called Leninists.

Of course the tankie bootlickers like them.

Instance is hexbear.net, check it out for yourself, doesn't work in browser for me without an account but it does work in liftoff without one for some reason.

It is weird that a lot of commenters here want to tell you what they are but don't say how to find this information by yourself.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then they might find out the "they're all just tankies!" line is a lie, there's shitty people on all instances, just so happens this one leans very left beyond neo liberalism and therefore it's bad!

Throw in that they all totally support Putin and Mao and don't really support LGBT! And you've got most normies nodding along with defederating

"Add in that they support authoritarian dictators and don't like the gays"
